Simple steps are all it takes
But steps don't erase mistakes.
Hand it off to me,
‘Cause when you're lost, you're found; you're gone.

Context clues don't do much for you,
So I'll leave them buried in the details.
If anyone cares, I'm the voice of reason,

Because if I bottle up a monster,
It only grows, grows, grows
Then why should I expect it gone,
Before I'm bones, bones, bones, I'm bones.

Simple steps are all it takes
But steps don't erase mistakes.
Hand it off to me,
‘Cause when you're lost, you're found; you're gone.

Context clues don't do much for you,
But I'll leave them buried in the details
So kids like me can find them,
So men like me transcribe them,
Save your futures and save yourselves,
From industrial, industry hells.
Mimicry is flattering,
But dangerous and matters to me.

Simple steps are all it takes
But steps don't erase mistakes.
Hand it off to me,
‘Cause when you're lost, you're found; you're gone.
Simple steps are all we need,
To dig up these rotten seeds,
That are here to sing,
That “Today, not tomorrow is ours.”

I won't sell myself out.
I won't let you down.
Just promise that you won't forget about me,
I can't stop the future from settling,
But I can change the way it feels,
Just promise you won't forget about me.
